Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, VLOLplot, is designed to plot one or all surfaces of objects from a given object list. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth on April 19, 2012.
Input Parameters
- VL: Vertex list, which contains the vertices used for plotting the objects.
- OL: Object list, which contains different objects, each with its own face list (FL).
- i: (Optional) The index of the object to print. If not provided, the default is 0, which means all objects will be printed.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize the variable
i to 0. If a third argument is provided, set i to this value.
- Determine the number of objects in the object list
OL using size(OL,2).
- Check if
i is greater than 0 and less than or equal to the number of objects n:
- If true, call the function
VLFLplot with the vertex list VL and the face list of the i-th object OL(i).FL.
- If
i is not greater than 0 or is greater than n, iterate over each object in the object list:
- For each object, create a subplot with
n rows and 1 column, and set the current subplot to the k-th position.
- Set the title of the subplot to "Object #k".
- Call the function
VLFLplot with the vertex list VL and the face list of the k-th object OL(k).FL.
- Label the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis.
- Set the axis to auto scale and equal aspect ratio.
- After plotting all objects, set the first subplot as the current subplot and call the function
PRplot with an empty string.
